Review: Sardoodledom : A Spelling Bee Tale - Krishna Dalal

Wanting a Children's book about Spelling and Spelling Bee Conundrums ?
Review: Sardoodledom : A Spelling Bee Tale - Krishna Dalal and Illus by Jessica Warrick- September 2011.
As a child growing up, I loved reading and writing and of course -what comes with these two skills is The art of Spelling. I had always wanted to participate in a Spelling Bee as on pop quizzes all my words would be spelt correctly and accurately, though in New Zealand when I was younger Spelling Bee's had not yet existed.
Sardoodledom before I opened the book had never heard of the word and for those like mean it means "overly dramatic, almost unbelievable".
Saradoodledom is a wonderfully written and well ilustrated children's book and follows four children from Jefferson Elementary School in their Spelling bee antics. Each of the child has a special way of remembering how to spell words and a speciality of their own.  Chloe , the first participant loves spelling big words and telling people what they mean , Ryan is a poet and learns how to spell words by what they rhyme with , Juan is the class clown and learns his words by inputting them in jokes and Hannah is a great speller but has a fear and dread of homphones.
It seems that this Spelling Bee is to end up in a Saradoodledom because of an actual bee.
A great read and tool for teaching children how to spell and remember words.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
